Miss collins penelope was the
best, the Bee scribe has ever seen.
Her lines were well read, her sing
ing pure, sweet aud simple and
her acting the very poetry of mo-
tiOn She entered fully into the
character and made it her own
from hel first entrance until the
close of the Operetta her individu-
ality was lost in that OF the char
acter she portrayed. This is true
art and the aim of all great
artists whether on the lyric OF
dramatic stage. Miss Collins is to
be congratulated In that she possess
es the happy faculty of merging
her identity into that of the char
acter she represents. Hers was al
most the perfection of performance,
casting an irresistible charm
around the simplest materials.
Miss DickerSOn as Mrs. CrOaker
was fair specimen of the disagree
able mistress. Her singing OF
Il dreampt that / dwelt etc, was
a pleasant surprise. In the duette
| between MrS. CrOakeT and Pene-
lOpe Miss DickersOn did some fine
acting; she was quite nervous at
times but by a remarkable exer-
else of will-power, managed to re-
tain her self-pOSsessiOn throughout
| the performance.
Mr.Grant Irving us TOsser was
fully up to the mark and was the
only gentleman in the east who
did not indulge i'll the diSagreable
habit of mounting the words. His
utterances both in singing and
speaking We're clear aud distinct.
Mr., BeaSOn us Pitcher and Mr..
Jackson as Chalks were only fair.
On the whole the parties engaged
in the operetta have reasons to feel
proud, for it was d splendid sue
cess.
] A feature of the entertainment
was the exhibition drill by a squad
from the High School Cadets.
They went through the various
evolutiOns with q precision OF
which old veterans might feel
envious. Their success is due to
the careful training of capt. AL
exander, and to Major Fleetwood,
who kindly rendered the use of
the cadets Armory for drill pnr-
poses. Too much cannot be said
in praise of Miss Cdddie r.. Parke
and Mr. II. H. Terrell for their un-
firing efforts to give to the people
of Washington a musical and dra-
matte entertainment of which they
may justly feel proud. We move
that each be given a gold medal.

ladies are dressed in appropriate
costumes. If President Stewart
had imported the laiies he could
not have made a better selection.
Tie hall is crowded every evening
aud those who fail to attend are
missing social treat as we'll as
the company of some of the finest
young ladies in the Washington
snclety. The BEE scribe having
done all the harm he could cons
graduated the managers and bid
adieu to little Frank Gray whom
he promised five votes which were
accepted with thanks. The
Oriole will continue all next week.

FIRST COLORED REGISTER.
ED PLUMMER.

Some time ago Mr.. Manson
Robinson, formerly of the Govern
ment Printing office, made appli-
cation to the District for license
as registered plummer; lie filled
the necessi ry bond and was vouch-
ed for by 'mpetent plumners as
being fully capable of performing
the work of his trade. Some how
another it was aScertained that
he was coIored and a fight was in
stigated against him by white
plummers which caused his appli-
cation to be denied. Mr.. Robin-
son would not be downed, so he
continued his fight and succeeded
in obtaining his license as a
registered plummer. This is the
first and only cnlored man
that i. registered plummer and it
is hoped that the citizens of the
district will encourage him by
doing all in their power make
him success. Mr.. Robinson has
his place of business at 1909 NJ ST.,
n. W, where he is proposed to re-
pair sinks, writer closets, bath tubs
and any thing in his line of busi>
ness.

THE HIGH SCHOOL
CONCERT.
MISS COLLINS AS PENELOPE APPLAUD
ED. A BEE sCkIBE ENJOYS HIMSELF.

The musical and dramatic enter
talnment given by the pupils of
the High School at the Metropolitan
church last Friday evening is
deserving of more than a passing
notice. 1t surpassed the most
sanguine expectations of those
having it in charge and gave full
and complete satisfaction to the
1,500 present, who evinced their
hearty approval by round after
round of applause. This entertain
ment differed in many particulars
from the average school concert.
The programme was not too long,
'just long enough" There were
no breaks nor awkward pauses.
There was no confusion in going on
and off the stage. Every thing was
done with a precision that gave
evidence of the cl sest attention to
the smallest detail.
The parts were evenly balanced
and the flow and ebb OF the vOlum.
of sound gave wonderful, undu-
lating under-cur-ent to the har-
mony. The soft pianis>imO effect
was almost indescribable and it is
not exaggeration in saying that it
was not unlike the .hO OF distant
music borne towards the hearer by
gelfle SIMMER z'phyrs.
Mr.. Henry Lewis, who sang
'sTnou art dreamlng," has beau
tiful tenor voice of pure flute-l ke
quality. If Mr.. Lewis W II diligent-
ly apply himself to the study OF
music he may one day take rank
with the leading tenors of the coun-
try. The cornet solo coming through
he rye," with variations, by
Mr.. Haunton Wormly, was gem.
Mr.. w. has greatly improved since
his last appearance.
The event of the evening was
the charming opperetta "Pene-
lope" with Miss Jennie Collins in
the title role. Taken as a whole

A BEE scribe made his second
visit to the Junior Excelsior Oriole
this week as his last reception
was OF such a hospital character he
concluded to make a second visit.
President Stewart was on hand as
usual with his young juveniles
who looked like swan of bees in
a china shop. The attractions are
the pretty faces of amiable aud
fascinating young ladies, the fine
appearance of the hall with it's
beautiful donations and nicely
arranged booths. Of course as
soon the BEE scribe was recogniz-
ed then came forth several dozen
pretty little butter cups asking for
votes. Give me vote please,
certainly said the scribe, give me-
the money. Ah! said the scribe,
look for me next week. This was
kept up during the whole evening
& the solicitors found that the BEE
scribe was SO liberal in promising
that he was relieved from further
asking to give votes. Onturning
to his left he saw his mutual and
pretty friend Miss Jennie Downing
at the confectionery table wnom
he approached and chatted with,
reviewing the past and palmy
days, when herself, Mrs. Morrison,
better known to the scribe and
herself as Eliza. The scribe failed
to recall the condition of Eliza's
white dress when she went on Il
fishing icnic one bright summer
morning, how nicely starched i,
was and how timber it got after
p'owing through the weeds to geI
to the fishing pond near The "Litllt
| Falls" Miss Jennie is a most
pleasant lady and can al Ways bt
recognized before you get to he
by that bland>llke and pretty
smile. 1t was a mistake last weel
when the scribe said that she Wa
at the China table, as also in tn
case of the fascinating Miss Kati
G. Lewis, she is at the Chm,
table. Miss bowling has assoclat
ed with her Misses Clara Rayland
, and Lizzie Piper, possessing d
much simplicity aud amiability a
herself.

CITY AND DISTRICT.
A HOMELESS GOVERNMENT.
How the Rulers of the District Have
becn Housed for Many Years.

Tne Dlstr1ct government has never, since 1t left
the city Hall, in 1871, owned home. 1t owns
many nne school buildings and station houses but
Is at the mercy OF landlord for its own home.
When the territorial government was organized
the legislative branch occupied Metzerotts Hall on
pennsylvania avenue between 9th and 10th streets,
WMie the executive offices were located for time
temporarily in the house on street near 9th, now
occupied by Dr.James E.Morgan. and subsequently
In the building at the northwest corner OF Penn
syivan1a avenue and 18th street.
Wnen the government by Commissioners was
oiRaniZeu IN 1874 the present quarters on Az
SCreet, constructed out of two large dwellings,,
were taken. Various branches OF the government
nave Deen moved about great deal during the
last n1teen years. The police headquarters has
Deen moved from Louisiana avenue to the corner
OF ~ street and Pennsylvania avenue, and thence
10 tnS present location, at 9Th and streets. The
health oiflce, formerly located on F street. near
!3th, was moved few years ago to a building on
AZ street. adjoining the District commissioners
Office and was then moved to its present location,
on ID street. next to the police headquarters. The
room In the Morrison buildings, have been
moved to the upper floor of the building occupied
by the health Office. None OF these build
1ngs were erected for Office purposes.
they were originally dwelling houses. The Dis
trlct commissioners hope to be able to rent for
centrally located and better adapted to the uses
and needs OF the District offices than the present
building on ~ street. One Of the Commissioners
suggested 10 STAR reporter that they might lease
three dwelling houses adjoining one another. 1t
would, he said, require about three years to COM
piete new building after an appropriation was
made, SO that they could with safety make q lease
for three
